Review

The Very Best of Bill Doggett Honky Tonk spotlights 25 R&B tracks released by the organist in the 1950s, including "Slow Walk," "Big Boy," and his biggest hit from February 1956, "Honky Tonk, Pt. 1" and "Honky Tonk, Pt. 2." Since these are the original versions released on King Records, this sampler is highly recommended for fans of uptempo organ/saxophone combos. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
